Year-In-Review ✧ 2022

“I feel fearless at the moment. I really do. I feel really emboldened. Not just by this experience and what we’ve all been through in this film, but just where I’m at in life, I guess. I feel more capable of dealing with the fact that it’s all right if people don’t agree with you, it’s all right to say no, and it’s all right to be yourself. These are all lessons that were profoundly impactful in the portrayal of Phil, the tragedy of him, the whole experience. As an actor, I’ve been brought into realms I hadn’t discovered yet or been tested by, and I feel pretty fearless.”

There are learnings that I would take from this year not a great year to be honest time flew it was just yesterday we were on a video call wishing each other happy new year and look where we are now, -"take responsibility of your actions you are not influenced by anyone it's always you who decides what is good for you and what not don't blame others if something went wrong it was your decision at last you took that call.

and never run away from the hardships of life i don't know running is not a good option atleast give it a fight maybe just maybe you were ment to win that fight that you never fought".

4 ships, 1 year !

As usual, Vanessa/Valentin steals spotlights in lot of months ♥ Almost 3 years they're in my head, and i have never enough of them. Starting to be only horny, they know live a love story, with heart eyes to each other in their lives they deserve they still horny don't worry I had a difficult moment with Virgile/Panam for reasons i don't want to talk about, but i never forget them. And replaying the game with Virgile (even he's not a v, will talk about that later), i still have feelings for the prettiest nomad in the game, and fuck to shitty modder who change her ! SHE'S PERFECT OKAY !!!! Even i didn't continue for now my fic Virgile/Eve, i still love this past ship, where i can explore loneliness in NC. I'm still writing on it, the chapter 4 is almost done but you know, i'm never satisfied ... I also have 2 new ships, but only the Baby Drivers are in the top this year. Maybe the witches will be there too next year I'm so happy @chevvy-yates accepts this ship between our boys ♥ Enzo was just supposed to be a character in the background because I love creating families. When I saw Jay's posts with the McLaren, I just had the idea that Enzo had lost his precious Baby in a race against the stubborn streetkid … I never imagined asking for a love story between those two. Now, Enzo has become one of my main OCs, I've had quite a few ideas for him and with Chevvy, we've still got quite a few things to see, but our boys are happy!

If you're interested on these ships :

ART 2023 A Year in Review

BEFORE anyone tells me "You forgot to put a month in", yes I didn't put the missing month in xD I didn't do any art for May. ;w;

I caught a cold and been sick, so I think I can already post my year in review as I doubt I'll finish anymore arts before 2023 ends.

I think I have been very productive this year! I got a few art commissions in, and I'm happy with that! Next year, I hope to finally create some merch starting with stickers. I'll start small for now, and see where it leads me.

Alas to my TF2 followers, I've completely focused on SkyCOTL this year. With a bit of School of Dragons because this year we lost the game that has been running since 2014 ;_;

It doesn't help that I cannot run Teamfortress2 on my ancient computer anymore, and that Steam is going to stop supporting my OS. *sigh*

Also finally updated my avatar/mascot which has been there for 7 years, whoohoo!

Hoping for better things in 2024, see you guys next year and happy holidays! Thank you for following me, and especially leaving such nice notes and liking and reblogging my posts. I never really publicly talk about it nor reply to you guys, but it always brightens my day and inspires me to keep going ;w;

I got fomo seeing everyone doing their Virtual Photography summary when I knew I wasn't doing it much this year (can you believe I did more in Nov-Dec than in the entire 2023?) but it is what it is 🙃

Loving that there are five straight ships in the top 25 tumblr ships and literally three of them are Maribug and Chatdrien in the different lovesquare dynamics. Nobody’s doing it like them.

A Year in Review : Jamie's 2023

Welcome to our look back on Jamie’s 2023! It’s been a tough year for the entertainment industry in general, with the SAG-AFTRA strike taking place from July all the way through to November, and we know that this impacted Jamie as he chose to take a stand along with many of his other acting peers. Yet despite this, Jamie has accomplished a lot in this year & it’s time to look back at some of the highlights!

February saw the release of Beyond Paradise on BBC1. Jamie played Archie Hughes, an ex flame of Martha’s who joined forces with her in getting her new business in Shipton Abbott up and running. Unfortunately for Archie, Martha had moved back to Shipton Abbott with her fiance, Humphrey and the two didn’t quite see eye to eye. This was such a fun role for Jamie and a complete joy to watch.

April was an exciting month which saw Jamie celebrating his 50th birthday and as always we marked the occasion with a birthday video which many of you took part in! He also travelled over to Cannes to premiere Cannes Confidential at  the 6th Canneseries Festival alongside co-stars Lucie Lucas and Tamara Marthe.

May saw Jamie treading the boards once again in Uncle Glen’s Menagerie at the Arcola Theatre which we were lucky enough to go and watch. Such an incredible evening of ad-lib comedy and superb acting from an incredible group of actors and comedians. As ever we want to thank Jamie for his time that he spent chatting with us before and after the show too.

In June finally came the UK release of Cannes Confidential on Acorn TV and we LOVED Harry King from the moment we met him. Such a fun, easy watching show and such a complex character in which Jamie got to show off all sides of his talent, from comedy through to some really beautiful emotional moments, especially in scenes with his on-screen daughter Emilie who was played by his real life daughter Ava in a brilliant debut performance. June also saw the release of Trader over in Russia - a project which Jamie filmed alongside his amazing wife Kerry all the way back in 2019! And of course, we cannot forget the epic BSG reunion which took place when Jamie headed over to Phoenix Fan Fusion. #SoSayWeAll

July brought some incredible news as Jamie announced that he was taking part in Kenny Logan’s RWC Challenge - an epic 700 mile cycle & walking challenge from Edinburgh to Paris, all to raise money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. Throughout July all the way through to October when the challenge took place, Jamie was training hard to ensure that he was ready for the mammoth challenge ahead.

August saw the release of Who Is Erin Carter? on Netflix - a twisty, fast paced thriller from the mind of Strike Back writer, Jack Lothian. Jamie played DI Jim Armstrong, a mysterious figure from Erin’s past. Though he was only in two episodes. We LOVED this character and with the series being left open ended, we really hope we get to see more of Jim in the future.

In September, Jamie attended the National Television Awards alongside his Beyond Paradise cast mates as the show was nominated for Best New Drama (which sadly it didn’t win).

And onto October which was such an important month for Jamie as all the training paid off when he & so many other incredible people including Kenny & Gabby Logan, Ally McCoist, Jason Fox and Jimmy Nesbitt started their gruelling trek on bike and foot from Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh to the Stade de France in Paris. This challenge was hugely life changing for the whole team (as well as a whole lot of fun!) and they smashed their target of raising £555,555 between them for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. We were honoured to be able to cheer them all on for a small part of this journey when we saw them off in York on day 3 and welcomed them back as they ended the day at the beautiful Belvoir Castle. To top off an incredible achievement, Jamie was also asked to become an ambassador for the foundation - a role we know that he will embody so well.

October also saw Jamie joining Cameo, giving fans the opportunity to get a personalised video message from him (which we of course took advantage of also!) and to round off the month, Cannes Confidential aired on French TV, renamed  Cannes Police Criminalle, with the entire show having been dubbed into French by the original cast.

November saw Jamie as a guest on fellow RWC Challenge team mate Archie Curzon’s podcast, The Rig Biz Pod, which was a brilliantly funny interview.

And to round the year off, December gave us announcements of not one but two new projects to look forward to in 2024! Firstly, Heavyweight, starring and produced by Jamie’s Marcella co-star Nicholas Pinnock, will be a gritty London drama focusing on the mental state of a boxer and his cornermen backstage before the fight as the clock ticks down. 

With the strike finally over, Jamie travelled to Bulgaria to film Strangers alongside Sienna Guillory, Emmett J Scanlan and Jon Voight. The project is described as an action thriller and will be released in 2024 on Paramount Plus.

As well as these two exciting announcements, AKA Blackbird, the brainchild of BSG alumni James Callis was finally released as an audiobook! With so many former BSG stars taking part in it, including Jamie and Kerry, it’s definitely not one to be missed.

And there you have it! Despite some difficult times, Jamie really did achieve a lot this year and with 2 projects already to look forward to, we can’t wait to see what else 2024 has in store.

As ever, we would like to thank you for all the support of our page over this past year and wish you all a very happy new year!

Jemma and Sophie. xx

Happy ACOTAR anniversary to me!! Last year today I finished ACOSF :’)

I love that I’ve read the series 3ish+ times, started writing fanfiction (over 400k words of it,) and managed to evolve into a fully fledged Azris shipper all in roughly 365 days💕

Thank you all for 400 by the way, I can’t even express how grateful I am for the community I’ve found here. Life this past year has been crazy and getting crazier and I love having this touch point in my life <3
